Catching insects?

Before Wen Ling could react, he was led by Gu Xun to the city gate.

Now that the sky is getting dark, the last few ordinary people hurriedly poured into the city gate, Rao is so, at the moment when the city gate is closed, there are still people from afar who have not been able to catch up.

"Ah Xun, what kind of bugs do you want to take me to catch?" Wen Ling was puzzled.

Gu Xun said softly, "When night falls, you can see the state outside the city. ”

Wen Ling looked down, and a few farmers who didn't have time to enter the city begged the soldiers defending the city to no avail, so they simply lay down outside the city gate.

It's still October, the weather is not cold, and a quilt is enough.

Wen Ling was also stunned when he looked at them.

When night fell, Wen Ling watched, the purple sunset faded, the night lights in the city were high, and the mountains and woods outside the city were gradually engulfed in darkness, and the night quietly began.

Wen Ling looked at the people stationed at the gate of the city below, after a burst of blood.

Several dark shadows appeared in front of the city gates.

"Are these all blood servants?" Wen Ling reacted.

Gu Xun nodded, "Chang'an, you should know that Gu is fed, just like people have to eat, and so do Gu." The blood servant and its corresponding soldiers use the righteous Gu, Rao is like this, and feeding the Gu people also requires the blood of the righteous party. ”

Wen Ling remembered that the last time Gu Xun summoned Gu Rin, he also used blood.

Thirty soldiers were occupied under the city gate, equal to the number of thirty blood attendants, and each of them cut his palms and fought against the blood attendants.

Thirty Blood Servants then rushed into the night.

"What did they do?" Wen Lingdao.

"Go catch bugs." Gu Xun said, "That fake death Gu is also a Gu, and it also needs to be fed, according to the observation over the past few days, those Gu people don't seem to have an order, or they can't be controlled, it's just that the Gu master buried the Gu in the body of the dead person, and they temporarily slept after becoming Gu people, and the blood servant couldn't find it." But after a long time, the Gu in the body will also be hungry, they will come out to forage, they also want blood, and strong and healthy young people will become their primary target. ”

"That'...... Isn't this no different from the bloody people of Tuyuhun? Wen Ling reacted.

Gu Xun said, "There is a difference, Tuyuhun's blood people are controllable, and Tuyuhun fights with them, so they are extremely aggressive." But the Gu people here are not, as if the Gu Master planted them and forgot them here. Because I don't know when it was planted, there have been a lot of people who have died in recent years, maybe since the blood servants of the Jin Kingdom or the blood slaves of Tuyuhun appeared, there were Gu masters who did this privately, these Gu people are people who have been dead for a long time, and when they feel hungry, they will come out to forage for food. Now there are such Gu people near Mocheng, in fact, it is not so difficult to deal with, it is just because people are panicked and afraid in their hearts, so the rumors will become more and more intense, and the people dare not face it alone. Here they are. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Ling heard Gu Xun say.

In the dark bushes, something strange seemed to be making a noise.

"That's it!"

Immediately afterward, Wen Ling saw a strange black shadow rushing out of it.

Gu Xun raised his eyes slightly, and went down directly with Wen Ling.

There was a horse tied to the gate of the city, and in Wen Ling's exclamation, Gu Xun directly grabbed her waist and jumped on the horse's back, and took the long sword thrown by Rong Bing, "Chang'an, I'm going to take it to catch insects." ”

Immediately afterwards, Wen Ling finally experienced the feeling of "catching insects".

Gu Xun took her on the horse, and just happened to bump into the black shadow, the thing moved a little slowly, and as it gradually got closer to Wen Ling, he finally saw that it was a "person", a dead man covered in mud.

Printed with the moonlight, I could see clearly the dirt on the "person's" body, and the whiteness in the pupils.

The next moment, the "man" rushed towards the horse that the two were holding, although the movement was fast, but the four blood servants next to him were faster than it, and suddenly appeared, holding a rope in their hands, trapping the "man", and wrapping it tightly in three times and dividing five by two.

Gu Xun approached with Wen Ling.

The guards not far away stepped forward, approaching with torches in their hands, and the blood attendants seemed to be a little afraid of the firelight, took a step back, handed the rope to the soldier, and disappeared into the darkness.

"This is the 'bug'?" Wen Ling was noncommittal about Gu Xun's description.

The Gu man was still struggling, and he had to cut off his hands and feet.

But obviously, now is not the time, the soldier glanced at Gu Xun, Gu Xun said in a deep voice, "Take it down." ”

Since he tied up the "man" and withdrew.

Wen Ling glanced at it, and not far away, they cut off the Gu man's hands and feet, and before he could react, Gu Xun turned the horse's head first, avoiding her gaze.

"I don't know when these Gu people were buried, maybe someone wandered around the Jin Kingdom a long time ago, using the dead to do experiments everywhere, so there were a lot of fake dead Gu people left in various places, and the Gu master may not be nearby, but these Gu people have been waking up spontaneously and foraging for food in recent days, which is the reason for the panic of the masses." Gu Xun spoke, "Gu people come out day and night, so they will come out at night, just imagine a normal person, if you see this kind of monster that can't be killed and wants to hurt yourself desperately in the barren mountains and mountains in the middle of the night, who wouldn't be afraid?" ”

Just thinking about it like this, Wen Ling felt creepy.

"Where did the Gu man go?" Wen Ling saw that they had burned the hands and feet of the Gu man just now, but he wrapped the drive in a white cloth and took it away.

"Sent to the Gu Master." Gu Xun said, "This kind of Gu person should not be too limited by it, but Rao is enough to cause panic, and we need to find a way to restrain it as soon as possible." ”

The current passive ones can only wait until the night, and those Gu people can only be destroyed when they come out on their own.

Wen Ling nodded, "So we're not going back tonight, are we?" ”

Gu Xun smiled, "This is the first time I've brought Chang'an City out in these days, don't Chang'an like the scenery outside?" ”

Wen Ling stopped.

How could you not like it.

Outside, there was a lot of noise.

It is a night of Chinese lights.

It was noisy and lively.

It's a pleasure just to look at.

"I like it." Wen Ling said subconsciously.

"Also, there is a different scenery here than the palace, and the one outside the palace is far better than the inside of the palace."

Gu Xun remembered Wen Ling's birthday, which also happened two days ago, just before and after the imperial examination, and the court was busy.

When he was on the battlefield, he thought that the war was over this year, if he could come back alive and marry Chang'an, in order to make up for Chang'an's failure to return to Qi for two years, he would rush to the fiefdom as soon as possible, and take Wen Ling back to Qi for his birthday on this year's birthday, but the plan could not catch up with the changes, two days ago, he was busy checking the test papers from the Gongyuan, and he didn't make room for a while, and when it happened that Wen Ling wanted to see the situation outside, he thought that he couldn't go back to Qi State, but it was okay to take a look at it in the city, so he took Wen Ling out.

"There is a birthday every year, I am not in a hurry in this year, as long as I have a yearning in my heart, what I see every day is the scenery." Wen Ling smiled.

The smile is clean and pure.

Gu Xun also smiled.

However, I didn't make any more promises, and too much of the promise was not as real as the moment it was realized.

Chang An understands what he has to do, and he just needs to do what he has to do.

After this night, Wen Ling understood that the current situation in the Jin Kingdom sounded like Tuyuhun had invaded the Qi Kingdom, but it was not.

There are not many of these Gu people, but because the Blood Servants can't find them, and they often come out in the middle of the night to be scary, so they need to be captured by the Blood Servants at night. But in fact, they are not powerful, after all, they are ordinary people in their lifetimes, and they have not undergone special training, but people are afraid of themselves and scare themselves, and they are even more so.

However, the men Wen Ling saw also saw some of them, most of them were born and afraid of death.

There are also villages outside that unite to resist together, but these villages are too remote, and they are not as big as those in the city, and only those who have nothing to do will spread these flying things so much.

But the matter is actually in a controllable situation, after all, it is the territory of the Jin Kingdom, and if there is a big move, it will definitely be discovered, and these scattered Gu people can also be seen that there is no large-scale or fixed.

Gu Xun ordered that while the Jin Kingdom controlled the security inside the city, it was looking for the remnants of the Gu people outside.

And the culprit has arrived in Beiyang at this moment.

Three or four people, most of whom covered themselves tightly with their cloaks, the leader had only one eye, the other was covered with black silk, and there were several scars on his face.

"Now that the Jin Kingdom has traced our whereabouts everywhere, is it really safe for us to go to Beiyang?" The thin man behind him asked.

The one-eyed man at the head smiled fiercely, "Now that Du Zhong is short of manpower, he can't ask for our arrival, otherwise he thinks that with these unarmed people, he can hold out for how long." It's not the first time that Jin Guo has done cruel things, as long as he is ruthless, Beiyang is just a flash in the pan. ”

The people who came and went around were all people who had fled.

It's not safe outside the city.

Some of the people trusted the Jin Kingdom, while others did not.

And in this distrust, coupled with the lure of Beiyang's favorable conditions, many people took refuge in Du Zhong.

These days, the news of Beiyang has also spread, and it is indeed the same as what Du Zhong said, Du Zhong not only funded these people to settle down, whether they know how to read, forge carpenters or blacksmiths, they need it. Before Emperor Wei Xian dominated Beiyang, because of Emperor Wei Xian's extravagance, Beiyang also developed many bad habits, rich people can live here, poor people can only work, but now Beiyang because of the help of Du Zhong, there is still a faint scene of harmony, everyone yearns, longs for safety and longs for peace.

It's just that the fish and dragons are mixed, and not all of them are honest people.

At that time, Du Zhong happened to be patrolling the city in his regular clothes. Zhou Tao followed behind him.

Unfortunately, I saw a man in the prime of life bullying the lonely old man.
